Saints Epictetus and Astion, priests in Scythia Minor, now Dobrogea, Romania, fearlessly preached Christ in the late 3rd century. Arrested for their faith by local authorities, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring brutal tortures. Miraculously healed multiple times, their steadfastness converted many. Ultimately, they were beheaded for their unwavering devotion.

Let us pray to #Saints Epictetus and Astion, that through their intercessions, we too may find the strength to stand firm in our #Faith and witness to #Christ in a world that needs Him. #OrthodoxSaints #RomanianSaints
